Spoiler-free hints for Connections #667
- Yellow: Think of a sharp poke or a way to break the surface.
- Green: Think of words used in two-way radio communication.
- Blue: These are titles found in the Old Testament.
- Purple: Say the words aloud: they can begin with an “sh” sound despite not being spelled with “sh.”

Spoilers: Connections #667 answers
Spoiler warning: The category names and all four groups are below.
| Color | Category | Words |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | PRICK | JAB, PIERCE, POKE, STICK |
| Green | RADIO LINGO | COPY, NEGATIVE, OVER, ROGER |
| Blue | OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS | DANIEL, JOB, JUDGES, NUMBERS |
| Purple | WORDS PRONOUNCED “SH” WITHOUT AN “SH” | SEAN, SIOBHAN, SUGAR, SURE |
Why the grid can mislead
DANIEL, PIERCE, SEAN, and ROGER may suggest James Bond actors Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, and Roger Moore. That association is a decoy here: each word belongs to a different actual group.

#1 Best Overall
The purple connection is about pronunciation, not spelling. The category describes words that can begin with an “sh” sound without containing the letters “sh”; pronunciations can vary, particularly for SURE.
